by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Complete and unabridged, <i>Don Quixote</i> is the epic tale of the man from La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Their picaresque adventures in the world of seventeenth-century Spain form the basis of one of the great treasures of Western literature.<br> <br>In a new translation that “comes closest, among the modern translations, to the simple, intimate, direct style that characterizes Cervantes’ narrative,”* <i>Don Quixote</i> is a novel that is both immortal satire of an outdated chivalric code and a biting portrayal of an age in which nobility was a form of madness.<br> <br>*John J. Allen, Professor Emeritus of Spanish, University of Kentucky and Past President of the Cervantes Society of America

Annemle babam niye mutsuz olduğumu sormasınlar, beni yalan uydurmak zorunda bırakmasınlar diye, gözyaşlarımı tutmak, yüzümdeki ifadeye hâkim olmak mecburiyetindeydim. Ama bütün bunlar bir anda sona erdi; öyle bir an geldi ki mantık tökezledi… sabır tükendi.
Kötülere iyilik etmek kum üstüne yazı yazmak gibidir.
